Muddy times

It's a tough time to run on the Hinkson Creek Trail with all the snow melt and rain. It will only get worse today with some wet snow falling. I do not recommend traveling the dirt trails today on the Hinkson Creek Trail. I was just on them on Thursday and there were parts that were very swampy.

The area that is especially bad is where the two dirt trails merge toward the middle of the nature area.

The gravel parts shouldn't be too bad, however.

This will likely continue for the next few weeks as we get through the unpredictable weather of March and April. It's probably best to stick to the gravel trail through these times, but even it could be messy at times.

Last Saturday, I jogged west along Grindstone Pkwy./Nifong Blvd. to the Providence service road by Gerbes, then turned north and went to Green Meadows Road and turned back around. That was a nice alternative to the sloppy trails.
